Synopsis
Designed to provoke powerful student response, The Language of Argument's collection of more than 90 short, compelling, and deeply felt arguments touches on some of today's most hotly debated issues: gun control, gay rights, censorship, and the tobacco industry.
Appropriate for students of all levels, Part One consists of brief, accessible discussions of the different forms of argument illustrated with sample essays and print advertisements. Part Two is a rich assortment of brief but provocative arguments for analysis. “Eight Rules for Good Writing” at the end of the text reviews topics like finding a subject and organizing material.
